The Twilight Zone

Everything is not as it seems in this anthology series. The reboot of The Twilight Zone in 2019 from Jordan Peele had plenty of sci-fi, mystery and horror elements, just like Stranger Things. Case in point? Check out season 1, episode 4's A Traveler, where a mysterious man's (Steven Yeun from The Walking Dead) arrival at a remote Alaska police station's Christmas party prompts a sergeant to investigate his ulterior motives. There's plenty of mystery similar to Stranger Things season 4, from Hopper in Russia to the new lab.
